Highgate Primary School
About Highgate Primary School
Highgate Primary School sits within the Haringey local authority, a London borough where 18 of 63 primary schools hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. The school itself is rated Good, and while it is not among the very highest-ranked primaries in the area — the top three local peers by ranking score are Lift Trinity (93), Rhodes Avenue Primary School (91), and Lift Noel Park (89) — it occupies a solid position in a competitive landscape. The nearest Outstanding-rated school, St Michael's CofE Voluntary Aided Primary School, is only half a kilometre away, meaning families in this corner of Haringey have strong options within a short walk. Headteacher William Harper leads a mixed, state-funded primary for pupils aged 3 to 11, with 310 children on roll. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in April 2024, marked a significant turnaround from its previous rating of Inadequate, with every inspected category now rated Good.
